scenario

According to the U.S justice department, in 2003 about 10.4% of all African American men between the ages of 25 to 29 were incarcerated, as compared to 2.4% of Hispanic men and 1.2% of non Hispanic white men. What is going on here? Why are black men in this age group so much more likely to be in jail than are people of white or Latino descent? Research the incidents of criminal prosecution, conviction, prison sentences, and time served by race and ethnicity for all three-African American, Hispanic, and White men. What factors or variables are associated with who gets involved in crime, why, and what happens to them in the criminal justice system? also look into how many judges, lawyers, and lawmakers are white compared with those who are African American. What does this tell us about structured inequality?
